They coming at John Boyega's neck for saying Game of Thrones lacks black characters

[GilSho]

On being a black man in the “Star Wars” universe, Boyega mentions other franchises that feature very few or no black people at all, adding that it’s incredibly important to have diversity on-screen ― even if it makes some people uncomfortable.

“There are no black people on ‘Game of Thrones,’” Boyega said. “You don’t see one black person in ’Lord of the Rings.′ I ain’t paying money to always see one type of person on-screen. Because you see different people from different backgrounds, different cultures, every day. Even if you’re a racist, you have to live with that. We can ruffle up some feathers.”

And it's not just cacs either like you'd expect. Those nikka nerds are joining in too for dissing their precious fictional show.

I can name a couple of black characters off top: Grey Worm and Missandei. Should there be more? And should they not have been slaves? I would say yes to both.

Only black characters that I can remember are: slave, slave seller, slave assistant, con man, and personal bodyguard.

Did I miss anyone?

I'll never understand the black nerds that fall in line with these cacfantasy tendencies.

Black is better each and every time. End of discussion.

Y'all still watching these cracker shows and asking to be included in shyt that ain't for you. Get your self esteem up family and stop seeking validation from inferior sub humans

Who cares... It's just entertainment

Black people got more serious problems like health care/medicaid being takin away

Trying to pay the electric and gas bills each month

He's in the entertainment industry himself. Why wouldn't he care exactly?

Exactly why I stopped watching tv years ago. White faces everywhere representing everything. It's too much and a gross exaggeration of their appeal and capabilities. Been rationing my White intake ever since, with movies too.

Its medieval Europe (so there should've been some equivalent to the Moors) but whatever. Lets make an African Game of Thrones ourselves. That's the first discussion we should be having...

If there was more black people in the show they would either be getting fukked or having their heads severed off, no thanks

Show is based on fake medieval Europe.
Why would there be black people like that?
